This article is re-blogged form an article I had published on the amazing Tiny Buddha. Photo taken from here “Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” Rumi My ‘Not Where I Want To Be’ Story When I left high school, I […read more]
I have had a lot (and I mean, a lot!) of emails recently from people feeling completely lost and adrift in amongst all the self-help and spirituality books that we’re incredibly lucky to have access to these days. This genre of books was completely foreign to me until I moved to Australia three years […read more]
I thought is was about time I created a manifesto for this website and for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I’ve been meaning to bring this to you for so long, but it’s been on my wall for a while now and every time I look at it, I feel strong, powerful and full of universal […read more]
This article was reblogged for my article featured on health and wellbeing website, MindBodyGreen. Illness affects most of us at one point or another, whether it’s from an allergy a cold, or having to stay in bed for months — if not years — on end. I was in the latter category, having being diagnosed […read more]
After receiving several emails this week asking me about the ‘turning point’ in my healing, I decided to make this little audio blog for you. As you know, I firmly believe that going through the healing process will make you a stronger person, but to be honest, I would’ve given anything for a quick […read more]
In true Oprah Super Soul Sunday style, I’ve been thinking a lot recently about change and how far away I am from the vision of my life that I had planned for myself when I was 14. To be honest, I didn’t really know what I’d be doing, but I thank the heavens and […read more]
What is the one emotion worse than fear?! Apathy. Total and complete apathy. The one emotion worse than fear. Extreme ‘couldn’t care less’-ness (and truly meaning it). Couldn’t give a sh*t. Genuine nonchalance. Stuck. An unwinding. Knowing how to unstick yourself, but you can’t be bothered to go there. Getting someone else to […read more]
This article is reblogged from my previously published article on MindBodyGreen. Click here to read more of my articles from the site. After completely healing myself of a 10 year struggle with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (or CFS as it’s more commonly known), I’ve realised recently that I’m still holding on to a number of […read more]
Taken from here with gratitude Don’t look back- you’ve been there done that. It’s boring and unadventurous. They say that life’s a journey. How can you journey if you’re not moving forward? Standing still gains perspective, but the journey gains inspiration. Forgive your past wrongs, but also love them unconditionally. They form part of your unique […read more]
Ahhhh, hello my love. It’s so good to be back with you again after being away in Bali for a little while. Bali has taught me so much about life and the limitations I seem to have placed on myself (for no good reason!), but more about that in another post. It’s been a […read more]
It’s official my dears- I have a new love! The benefits of dry body brushing have won me over. I’ve been incredibly curious about body brushing for a long time, but for whatever reason have never gotten round to really trying it. It’s incredibly effective and I have to say I would feel ‘off’ […read more]
Sometimes living with chronic illness can just seem absolutely impossible. It’s an impossible situation in impossible circumstances with an impossible outlook and future. I know exactly what you’re going through. Even though you feeling completely alone, you try to push others away, because you know they just won’t get it. Here are few words to […read more]
This is dedicated to David- thank you so much for inspiring this post. As part of ‘My Bookshelf’, I’ve included lots of books that have really, really helped me in understanding my illness and in my healing, but I understand that many of us might not be in the position to read due to fatigue and […read more]
